Shelby County Prosecutors Take Madison Sheriff Case

When Madison County Sheriff David Woolfork was indicted on sexual assault and domestic violence assault Monday, Dec. 2, by a grand jury in Jackson, Tenn., it was the formal start of a criminal case that will be prosecuted by the Shelby County District Attorney General’s office.

Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich signed the indictments following the recusal of Madison County District Attorney General Jerry Woodall. Woolfork’s office works with Woodall’s office in prosecuting Madison County cases.

Prosecutors from Shelby County will handle the case against Woolfork in Madison County Circuit Court. Woolfork is accused of sexually assaulting a civilian employee of his department at her home in October.

Woolfork turned himself in at the Chester County Jail Monday, was booked and then released on a $20,000 bond.

Madison County Commissioners passed a resolution in November urging Woolfork to resign after the group commissioned an independent investigation of two allegations of sexual harrassment by Woolfork.

Arkansas Revenue Below Forecast in November

Arkansas' revenue in November fell below last year's figures and predictions for this year, financial officials said Tuesday.

The state Department of Finance and Administration reported that Arkansas' net available revenue for last month totaled $349.7 million, which was $800,000 less than November 2012 and $8.4 million below forecast.

The department said the November numbers were affected by swings in corporate income taxes.

Gross collections in corporate tax income were $4.2 million below forecast and 41.6 percent below last year's levels. Corporate refunds, meanwhile, were $2.6 million above expectations and 36.6 percent above last year's levels.

Arkansas' net available revenue so far for the fiscal year that began July 1 totaled more than $2 billion, which is $29.4 million ahead of forecast.

Whole Foods Delays Germantown Store Request

The development team behind a proposed Whole Foods store in Germantown has withdrawn its application from the Germantown Planning Commission’s Tuesday, Dec. 3, agenda and will return next month.

“There are a few engineering issues, primarily traffic, that city staff needs to address,” said Germantown City Administrator Patrick Lawton.

The proposed store would be on the southeast corner of the intersection of Poplar Avenue and Pete Mitchell Road, on the eastern edge of Germantown’s Central Business District and across Poplar from the Germantown Collection shopping center.

The site plan for the new Whole Foods, developed under Germantown’s smart growth plan, shows the store being built close to Poplar with landscaped parking areas at the intersection of Poplar and Pete Mitchell and behind the store along Pete Mitchell.

Whole Foods, founded in 1980 in Austin, Texas, has been active in the Memphis area lately. In addition to the planned Germantown store, the specialty grocer is in the midst of a $3.1 million expansion of its East Memphis location. Whole Foods is relocating its current 25,000-square-foot store at 5022 Poplar into the space next door formerly occupied by Office Depot.
